How to Know if Shutters Are Right for Your Home

How can you know if shutters are the best choice for your home? What benefits do they offer? Will you be happy with the look and feel?

Crisp white shutters like these from the Hunter Douglas NewStyle Hybrid line provide a timeless, upscale look that works with nearly any décor.

Rest assured that shutters are a great choice for almost any décor, whether you’re working with a traditional or ultra-modern look, or a transitional or eclectic design. As much as almost any other window treatment, the right shutters provide a timeless, upscale look that can even increase the resale value of a home. The clean, neat, stylish look of shutters enhances both inside atmosphere and outside curb appeal. Shutters are available in wood or composite materials and in a wide range of colors, sizes and specialty shapes.

Shutters also offer great advantages such as energy efficiency, light and privacy control, easy operation and maintenance and durability. They provide an insulating shield against both winter cold and summer heat. You can tilt louvers to adjust for light and privacy, and use divider rails to separately control the top and bottom portion of the shutters, an especially versatile option for a bathroom. Shutters are easy to clean with a feather duster or damp cloth.

One of the most important things to know when purchasing shutters is that custom shutters are your best option. They will fit your windows exactly and perfectly locate a divider rail if needed. You can find a custom shutter to fit an arch or oval window, use a bi-fold track for a narrow application or fit the shutter frame around the handle of a French door. And you can choose the precise color and style that suits your room and décor preferences.

Just Right Blinds & Shutters offers both wood and composite Hunter Douglas shutters, including Heritance Hardwood Shutters, NewStyle Hybrid Shutters and Palm Beach Polysatin Shutters. All are high quality custom products providing outstanding construction, versatility and durability. Just Right Blinds & Shutters will measure your windows and show you samples to help you select the size, style, color, finish, louver width and specialty options such as PowerView Motorization (available with Palm Beach Shutters).

How to Know Your New Window Treatments Will Be Professionally Installed

Installation is a critical final step to get what you want from your new blinds or shutters

Owner-provided professional installation from Just Right Blinds makes these Hunter Douglas NewStyle Shutters fit accurately and beautifully. The arch is a unique feature that Just Right Blinds is experienced in working with.

You’ve selected the perfect new blinds or shutters for your home. You’ve placed the order, made a deposit and set a date for installation. All that’s left is to enjoy your new window treatments, right?

Not quite! Professional installation brings to life the look and function you want from your new blinds or shutters. Just Right Blinds & Shutters makes sure this all-important step is done professionally, accurately and smoothly, because the person who helps you select and then measures for your window treatments is also the person who installs them. Todd Zimmerman, owner of Just Right Blinds & Shutters, handles your entire window treatment process from start to finish.

Here’s why that’s a big advantage to you:

·      Todd is a professionally trained and certified Hunter Douglas installer. He will both measure and install your treatments to the correct specifications with a precise fit to your unique windows.

·      At your sales consultation, Todd will take note of any special situations such as window shape, trim features or hardware that affect fit and appearance. He’ll personally make sure all of these are taken into account when your order is placed and during installation.

·      Since the same person who measured and helped you select your blinds or shutters is installing, he can anticipate how to give you an error-free installation. And if any unforeseen issue does arise, it’s handled with on-the-spot communication.

·      You’re dealing with the same person from start to finish, someone you already trust to be in your home and give the same care you would to your walls, windows and furnishings. 

·      You’re not working with a third party, so any unexpected scheduling conflicts you might have for your time of installation are easier to resolve.

When you work with Just Right Blinds & Shutters, you can be confident you’ll get the extra care and attention an owner personally provides for each step of the process, from your first contact to the day you begin to enjoy your new window treatments.

Answers to Your Window Treatment Questions from Just Right Blinds

How do I find room-darkening shades without losing my view? What cordless blind options are there to keep my child safe? Are there blinds that will help insulate my windows year ‘round?

Adding the Duolite option to a Silhouette Window Shading combines a light-diffusing shade with a room-darkening one, letting you enjoy privacy plus your view in one shade.

Just Right Blinds has answers to these questions and more, thanks to Hunter Douglas window fashions. We’re ready to provide you a free in-home consultation that considers all of your window treatment questions. To help start the process, here are answers to three of the major questions we hear from our customers:

Question 1: How do I add a room-darkening option without losing my view? 

Duolite is a dual-opacity option that integrates a light-diffusing shade with a room-darkening one. It’s available on Silhouette Window Shadings, Duette Honeycomb and Vignette 6-inch flat fold rolling style shades. Another option is top-down/bottom-up style, which lets you lower a shade from the top down, raise from the bottom up or any combination in between. Top-down/bottom-up is offered with Duette Honeycomb, Solera, Vignette stacking style and Provenance Woven Woods.

Question 2: I have young children—can I get cordless options?

For sure! Hunter Douglas has completely cordless motorized options including PowerView and SoftTouch, as well as other cordless operating systems such as LiteRise and SimpleLift. Wand controls are also available as well as Vertiglide, a cordless choice for sliding glass or French doors.

Question 3: Are there blinds available to improve the energy efficiency in my home?

Great question! A high quality insulating window treatment keeps warmth inside during winter and the sun’s heat out in summer so you can enjoy year ‘round comfort without higher utility bills. Options from Hunter Douglas include the Duette Architella honeycomb shade, with a patented cell within a cell design that traps air and prevents it from escaping through a window. The Architella Trielle shade features five insulating pockets and is the most highly rated Hunter Douglas shade for energy efficiency. Sonnette Cellular Roller Shades are another excellent insulating option.
